Sprite is the number one lemon-lime soda in France and Europe. Caffeine-free, with a crisp and refreshing profile, it occupies a distinct position between the colas and traditional lemonades. For wholesalers it delivers steady year-round rotation, with a summer peak and growing use as a mixer in alcohol-free cocktails. Martigane carries all seven formats in the 2026 catalogue.

Sprite: 65 years of refreshment and a unique market position

Created in Germany in 1959 as "Fanta Klare Zitrone" before being renamed Sprite and launched in the United States in 1961, Sprite is today the third best-selling soda brand worldwide, behind Coca-Cola and Pepsi. The recipe is simple and effective: carbonated water, sugar, natural lemon and lime flavours, citric acid — no caffeine, no colouring.

That simplicity is its strength. Sprite reads as lighter and more natural than the colas to consumers looking to cut caffeine. It is also the reference soda for alcohol-free cocktails such as virgin mojitos and non-alcoholic spritzes, a use that has grown sharply since 2020.

🍋 Sprite and the mocktail boom: an opportunity for food service

The mocktail market has expanded rapidly across Europe since 2020, with bars and restaurants reporting a marked increase in alcohol-free cocktail orders. Sprite is the base ingredient of several of the most popular: virgin mojito (Sprite, mint and lime), lemon fizz, Sprite and syrup. For food service wholesalers this is a direct commercial argument — Sprite is no longer only a soda, it is a mixology ingredient with real incremental sales potential.
